Create a Powershell ListBox Sticky Notes Backup Utility

Question

I'm building a PowerShell utility that will backup and restore sticky notes using a powershell script to pull the Get-localuser command from a local device into the list box. From list box choose the user profile and it initiates a comand to fetch a file. What im researching is after you select a user in list box, it sends a command to copy a file Thank you.

Example: Admin is the user:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\users\Admin\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\pause copy plum.sqlite-wal cd C:\Users\Admin\Documents\SN Utility

If I understand your question correctly, i believe you want to replace the line

[void] $listBox.Items.AddRange(@("user1", "user2", "user3"))

with

Get-Localuser | select -expand name | foreach {[void] $listbox.Items.Add($_)}

or

$listbox.Items.AddRange((get-localuser | select -expand name))
